I’m a born American, raised Aussie who left Australia’s sunny shores to live in rainy Hamburg Germany. Go ahead, call me an idiot.

And call me an idiot again: I’m hoping to one day give up a well-paid job in web design to become a starving photojournalist. Of course well-fed photojournalist would also be okay.

I’m in no position to study full-time, so as a way to learn and get a portfolio together, I assign myself what I can, and post the pics on my site, Matt Shoots. All Lightstalkers are invited to stop by and give me honest, instructive criticism. Encouragement is also welcome.
